Enzo's POV:
"Candidate from Chesterwood" the emcee called and my heart rate sped up. Okay Enzo breathe, smile, and walk confidently. I approached center stage where the lights were pointed and where the judges are looking. "How are you candidate number 24 from Chesterwood"

"I'm feeling great. I can't believe it's top six already" I smiled and the people cheered

"Well me too. Now, let's see who's going to ask you a question" he said and we faced the screen. The names flashed rapidly until it stopped. "Mr. Michael Moscovitz" he said and we faced the judge

"Good evening candidate number 24" he greeted and I smiled and nodded. "You have inactive social media accounts so tell us, if you would be crowned, how can you influence others to support your chosen advocacy without social media" he said and I held the mic.

"Well I would do that like how they influenced other people during the times where social media wasn't available yet and that's by going around and showing the people first-hand my purpose and my advocacy. And nowadays, mo—" I didn't get to finish because the chiming sound that meant my time is up sounded. I just smiled and walked back to my place.

"There you have it ladies and gentlemen, your top six. In a short while, we'll announce the top three that will answer the final question" the emcee said and they all clapped. We exited the stage and I sat backstage.

"I'm gonna lose" I said to myself

"No you aren't" my dearest friend, manager, make-up artist, Ava said. "You're not gonna lose" she said. "But if you do, let's consider our friendship over okay?" She said and I rolled my eyes

"I think I'm gonna cry" I said

"You're still young! You can join again next year" she said. "You have a chance at winning because your answer was good but not good enough. Just make sure it's accurate, brief, and clear" she said and added a bit of foundation. "Go, go, go. You can do this" she pushed me towards the line and gave me a thumbs up. I smiled at her and the music started once again. We walked back to the stage and I made sure I gave the judges the biggest smile I have.

"Welcome back. Before I announce the top three, I just want to congratulate these six gentlemen up here. You guys were the strongest and now, we will find out who are the top three strongest among you six. From 31 and now we are down to our top three" he trailed and intense music played. "Candidate number... 9 from Pryus" he said and we clapped. "Next up is... candidate number 24 fron Chesterwood" he announced and my eyes widened. The people clapped and I approached center stage. I smiled and bowed before joining candidate number 9

"Oh my God..." I breathed and stared at Ava who was cheering. I chuckled at her as she shook her boyfriend's shoulder.

"You're the gay one right?" Candidate number 9 said beside me. I stared at him with a smile and nodded. He leaned closer to my ear and whispered. "You're disgusting" he said. I didn't let my smile falter so I just chuckled and nodded once more.

"The candidate who earned the third and final spot is... candidate 15 from Venta Harrem" he announced and we clapped. "Ladies and gentlemen, these are your top three candidates" he said and all the spotlights turned towards us. I smiled at the camera and waved at the people. A program manager approached us and walked us to the backstage. "And to sing for us for the final walk of our top three candidates tonight, let's give a round of applause to Ally Mendez" he announced and people clapped. The music started and she started singing.

Candidate number nine stepped up and started walking like a king. "Hey! Hey!" Someone called me and I turned my head to the side and Ava was there. "Don't trip or else" she threatened with her fist and I waved her off
